Subject: [ 08/42] timekeeping: Fix CLOCK_MONOTONIC inconsistency during leapsecond

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: John Stultz <john.stultz@...aro.org>

commit fad0c66c4bb836d57a5f125ecd38bed653ca863a upstream.

Commit 6b43ae8a61 (ntp: Fix leap-second hrtimer livelock) broke the
leapsecond update of CLOCK_MONOTONIC. The missing leapsecond update to
wall_to_monotonic causes discontinuities in CLOCK_MONOTONIC.

Adjust wall_to_monotonic when NTP inserted a leapsecond.
